listen to this album or I kill your cat

Einojuhani Rautavaara
9 October 1928 – 27 July 2016

The bolded are indeed great, but I heard my first Nono work the other day: very excited to explore more! I wonder why he's relatively neglected...

The first half hour or so here is especially recommended (Como una ola de fuerza y luz), but the piece after and then the Manzoni to finish off are quite good:



(if you haven't heard these already)

Josh did you check out the Rautavaara clip above?

ok

I’m going to take a break from the all things 2016 theme to interview Music Banter banger, Mondo Bungle, about his new album Desert Universe composed under the alias ZÖN available on Spotify and Bandcamp.

First off, in the above introduction I assumed you’re male but I don’t know that for certain. Also, I described ZÖN as an alias.

Am I in need of any correction concerning my assumptions? Is Desert Universe something you created alone or is it a collaboration?

**** yeah! Do a proper lengthy interview! That'd be awesome.

it was all me

Well I just finished listening to it and it’s a real powerhouse. Congratulations.

Before I ask you what you used to make and record these sounds I’m curious where you were. Part of the mystique of music like this comes from how unknowable the artist’s surroundings were if they choose to keep it unknown. So I’m asking you to break this down for me as much as you’re comfortable with. Your Bandcamp says Lake Tahoe. That could mean anything from a twenty million dollar ski lodge to couch surfing and car living. In as much detail as possible where were you when you created and recorded this music?

Rubidium Funeral Dirge and some of the title track had already been around for a while, both made around the same time. The former came first and it was me wanting to do a funeral doom jazz album. Both tracks went down in Tahoe when I was doing stuff at their library still, and thusly are centered around ultra distorted and modulated guitar that I recorded even longer before that. But a little bit ago I had access to an electric guitar for the first time in a while and got down for a while. It was a friend's guitar in Reno, and his place is pretty woodsy, so ridiculously enough I proposed we go as far into the forest as our extension chords would let us and record there. That's where the clean guitar in the title track came from, and the whole conception of the The Journey, and I'd go on to tack on all the samples and synths and drums later. The last track has some of that forest guitar too, but especially modulated.

I guess it's not as awesome as you might have thought.
